Abstract
A catheter for ablating cardiac tissue through irreversible electroporation, the catheter comprises a tubular outer shaft and an electrode assembly extending distally from the distal end of the outer shaft. The electrode assembly defines a distally located central hub portion and a plurality of splines each extending proximally from the central hub portion. The electrode assembly comprises a flexible circuit having a flex circuit hub and a plurality of flex circuit branches integrally formed with and extending proximally from the flex circuit hub, the flexible circuit further including an outwardly-facing ablation electrode including an ablation electrode hub portion located on the flex circuit hub, and a plurality of ablation electrode branches integrally formed with the ablation electrode hub portion, each of the ablation electrode branches extending proximally along a portion of a respective one of the flex circuit branches and terminating in an ablation electrode proximal end.
